I just stashed a new Vittoria Rubino tire in the SF Panhandle Park. If your in the area, try to pick it up. Please send us a photo if you get it!
Julien just sent us some examples of his new drawings. We are happy to get to run around with the charters in your head! Thanks for sharing.
Had a really nice day running around with Lodovico.
We made it up to twin peaks between rain showers. Hope you made it home safe, and look forward to seeing you guys in italy sometime soon!

all segway cops are bastards
Just getting home from Richmond. Always nice to get together with the bike world at large. So many friends get out for these types of events, and tons of new friends made. Richmond, Atlanta, Philly, Chicago, Charlotte, Minneapolis, and on and on. Globe will put up some photos tomorrow from the race, and I will update this post when I get a minute. MORE SOON!
Missed my flight to RVA, will get in at 6am. Who wants breakfast?
We will add these new black reflective sticker packs to the store next week. 6$, limited print run!
Cross season is over:
It has been nice to have guys pop in for some dinner, talk bikes, and catch up in general. Paging Jonathan!! Let’s link up soon!
Walton’s leg: A large group crashed out in a mud corner on a road ride last weekend. I think everyone ended up with something simular.
Walton’s brain: He is in full blown school mode right now, and like Will, It is always nice to visit with a focused student. Their minds are so clear, and on point, you can have some conversations in depth, without the working class distractions. Nice to catch up guys!
Waltons secret weapon.
Garrett just came through to pick up some tires, and had a chance to hover his recent S-WORKS project. Enclosed are some details, all shot in low light. Really fresh to spend time with an object like this. It reminded me how pro tour bikes make such an impression, and have their own imperfections if you can get macro on it. These details remind you it was made by a human, and not a machine. Hand cut paint masks in this instance. Like looking at a painting vs a print-out. My heart is with the classic process.
2010 Inspiration S-WORKS
Wanted to say thanks to the team at BIKEMINE / VITTORIA for sending the guys some fresh tires for 2010. We are grateful they understand that we ride all kinds of bikes. This package included ROAD, MOUNTAIN, CROSS, TRACK, and STREET tires. This kind of support goes a long way, and we want to give a huge thanks for their continued support!
Yesterday some of the guys got out to ride Mt. Diablo in the sun. Rainier, Blake, Walton, Chas, Steve, and Joe, met up with Freddy Rodriguez to do this very tuff ride. Blake took these photos. Nice to see MASH, HOC, MURDER, and RR kits in a pack!
and by the looks of things, a few of you might need new kits?!
It’s nice to see Chas and Steve getting out with these guys. Really strong riders.

T.O.C. 2010 Stage 2
These guys get out on almost every format of bike. Here is a shot Rainier got of Walton wiggling up to the bridge, mid-wheelie.
Last year I was able to meet up with some of the guys who make up Empire. Today this new trailer for their project went live, and it’s a fun watch. You can tell the riders were excited to go tape, and the energy is good. Keeping things up for the east coast!
Here is Campagnolo build sent in from our friend, and printer, Jonathan Burrow. Campagnolo complete build. Thanks a ton for sharing, and look forward to hearing about the adventures this machine gets to go on!
If your going for it, don’t forget the clamp! Thanks for sharing!!
The last couple of days we have had house guests from New Zealand, and it has been a nice break in the weather to run around and see some favorite SF spots. This van was spotted in the mission. Paging Twist..
Today we stopped by Box Dog to say hello, and we were greeted with a new BDB jersey for my son. Really thoughtful of them to make a child size jersey for their smallest fan. Next we checked in with Benny, and Josh at the New Goldquarters. Ben’s dog Levi took time to model the mentioned jersey.
Home team
Someone thought it was a good idea to fuck with these sandwiches. Turns out Benny knew what he was talking about. Thats a fried chicken torta for real.
Thanks to Frank and Ivy for running around today! Look for a big update from them Feb 1st about ALLTRACK 2010 Auckland NZ.
